On how the footage from the first movie will affect the sequel:
“Small spoiler – the movie you saw (Chronicle) in the sequel, is a thing. That edited footage … is a thing. So it’s not like ‘we found this footage after this kids died’. You can’t deny cars being thrown in the air in Seattle. You saw all those helicopters. The world changed. That’s the end of ‘Chronicle’. And things are going to be different now. They can’t possibly cover up what happened.”
On whether Josh Trank will be back at the helm:
“Probably not. Josh is all over the place with other projects. I’m also all over the place with other projects, but ‘Chronicle’ is really my baby. Josh will probably be involved in some respect but right now I just want to get the script done.”
On the returning character of Matt (played by Alex Russel in CHRONICLE):
“I loved Matt, and I felt really bad for him because I understood just how emotionally lazy he is and how he doesn’t really do what he’s doing. And that’s why I’m putting him through hell in (Chronicle) 2.”
There you have it. While the absence of Trank was something to be expected, the other tidbits of info sound intriguing enough to believe that this won’t be just another quick cash-in sequel. We’ll be sure to keep you posted.
